Yeah but if you serve any kind of content through your own website (ads, youtube videos, etc..), there are built in trackers that are collecting data which is used to personalize content, and although you may not be storing the info or personalizing the content yourself, you are responsible for making opt-in/opt-out options available when that content is viewed on your domain. This is just on a basic level if you're using simple third party stuff that lots of people use.

But even if you're just storing IP addresses and stuff, that information still has to be made available upon request to EU players and you also have to have public notices that you are collecting this data.

The average community owner/website operator can get away with using Cookie Consent slide up ( https://silktide.com/tools/cookie-consent/download/ ) and slightly re-wording it. It's really those with large communities that have to take some extra measures.
